R.D. -
If you will do an in-depth subject search on the British Library website, the Library of Congress website and
https://www.worldcat.org/ website, you should be able to turn up dozens and dozens of books, articles in scholarly periodicals and unpublished manuscripts on this.
The only title along this line that I have in my library is:
Krug, Hans-Joachim, Yōichi Hirama, Berthold J. Sander-Nagashima and Axel Niestlé.
Reluctant Allies: German-Japanese Naval Relations in World War II. Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2001. ISBN: 1-55750-465-2. Hb. Dj. 414p. Illus. Appendices. Glossary. Source notes. Bibliography. Index.
